Daily Demolition

I was planning to get a pic of this myself this afternoon, but I see Cleophatra has beaten me to it. The building that once housed the Fortissimo deli (and before that Video Connection) on St Charles and Louisiana has been flattened. Fortissimo was a favorite place for me to get parade food during pre-K Mardis Gras. I liked the place but I didn't get the impression they were doing very good business. The deli was vandalized and did not reopen after the flood.

Video Connection is famous for having briefly employed my good friend, Rudolph, many years ago.

Don't know what's going up there in its place (Correction: the above linked Casa Verde post says it will be a bank), but I will miss that building.
